Alexis wakes up in Ned�s arms. His arms are wrapped protectively around her waist.
Ned: (not opening his eyes) �Good morning, Beautiful.�
Alexis: �Good morning, Baby. Did you sleep well?�
Ned: �Pretty good, considering that you kept me up for half of the night seducing me.�
Alexis: (laughing) �I didn�t hear any complaints from you.�
Ned: (grinning, full dimples showing) �Who said anything about complaining?�
Alexis: (rolling over to face him) �Don�t I get a good morning kiss?�
Ned: (putting his arms around her) �I would never deny you anything.� He kisses her soundly, and then kisses her over and over all over her face.
Alexis: (laughing as he kisses her closed eyes) �What a wonderful way to wake up.�
Just then, the door flies open and Avery runs into the room.
Avery: �Mommy!� she stops and looks at them. �Where are your pajamas?�
Alexis: (forgetting that they are just wearing the sheet) �What are you talking about?�
Avery: (incredulous) �Are you naked?�
Ned: �Avery, do you remember what we told you about knocking on our bedroom door?�
Avery: (pouting) �But...�
Ned: �No buts. Now go get dressed for school and we�ll talk at breakfast.�
Avery: (angry) �You�re mean! You wouldn�t say that to Brooke!�
Ned: �Avery, I am going to count to three and if you aren�t out of here, no Spice World for a week.� He pauses. �One... two...�
Avery glares at her parents and then runs from the room, slamming the door after her.
Alexis: (sighing) �What is going on with her?�
Ned: �Sibling rivalry. She�s at that age.� He leans over and kisses her gently. �Don�t worry about it, Lexi.�
Alexis: (still worried) �I just want to be a good mommy.�
Ned: �You are.� He touches her face. �There is no doubt about it.�
Later that morning.
Ned and Alexis are eating breakfast after having dropped Avery and Brooke off at school.
There is a knock at the back door.
Ned: (getting up and opening it) �Well, well. It�s my sex-crazed sister and her Greek God.� He grins as Stefan glares at him. �Come on in.�
Mackenzie: (as they come in) �Lex, I need to get the Andrews file from you since you asked me to co-council on it.�
Alexis: �Okay. It�s on my desk in the study.� She smiles. �I�ll get it in a second. Sit down and have some coffee.�
Stefan: (as they sit down) �So, are you two having fun with the contest?�
Ned: (pouring them coffee) �You bet. Too bad it�s only two days.�
Mackenzie: (clearing her throat) �Actually, we wanted to talk to you about that. What do you think of extending it another day?�
Alexis: �No can do. I have to be in court all day tomorrow.�
Stefan: �Fine. Than what about dinner tonight? To wrap it up and all...�
Mackenzie: (sipping her coffee) �I was thinking Chez Plaisance.�
Ned: �Sounds great. How about seven o�clock? I have a late meeting.� He gives Alexis a meaningful look. She smiles.
Stefan: �I�ll be right back. I need to make a call and if it�s okay, I want to go in the living room to do it.�
Alexis: �By all means.�
Stefan gets up, giving Mackenzie a look, and then heads out of the kitchen.
Ned, Alexis and Mackenzie go on sipping their drinks and eating croissants for a few moments before Mackenzie stands up.
Mackenzie: �I�m going to go use the bathroom. I�ll be right back.�
Alexis: (as she leaves) �So, what time should I show up at ELQ?�
Ned: �Six or so.� he grins. �I can�t believe we�re doing this. We are SO bad.�
Alexis: �You are a horrible influence on me, Ned Ashton.�
Ned: (grinning) �I know. Don�t you love it?�
Alexis: (laughing) �It�s ten times more fun than being a normal wife.� She grins.
Meanwhile. The downstairs bathroom.
Mackenzie: (up against the door, kissing Stefan�s neck) �This is terrible.�
Stefan: (concerned) �What? I didn�t think I was doing anything wrong.�
Mackenzie: (as he continues to make love to her) �No, just where we are.�
Stefan: (laughing) �I know. Alexis is going to KILL us.� He grins. �But it�s worth it.�
Mackenzie: (in a low voice) �I�ve always enjoyed making love in the morning.�
Stefan: �How do you feel about ALL morning?�
Mackenzie: (sucking on his earlobes) �What do you mean?�
Stefan: (running his hands through her hair) �Well, last time you and I were alone in the boardroom at your office, Alexis walked in before anything happened.�
Mackenzie: �Aw, Stefan, are you still craving a little boardroom nookie?�
Stefan: (shaking his head) �You and your stupid slang.�
Ten minutes later.
Alexis: �What on earth is taking Stefan and Mackenzie so long?�
Ned: (laughing into his coffee cup) �You don�t think they�re in the living room...�
Alexis: (raising her eyebrows) �I doubt it.�
Just then, their phones, sitting on the table, ring.
Alexis: (weakly) �Alexis Ashton.�
Ned: (amused) �Ned Ashton.�
Mackenzie: �Hi, it�s me.�
Alexis: �And where exactly are you, Mackenzie Pamela Cassadine?�
Stefan: �Don�t kill me, Ned, but, well, we�re in your bathroom.�
Alexis: �You�re kidding, right?�
Ned: (at the same time) �You�re kidding, right?�
Stefan: �I believe that the goal was IRONIC places.�
Mackenzie: �Don�t worry. We didn�t mess up the towels or anything.�
Just then, they walk into the kitchen and turn their phones off. No one says anything as Stefan and Mackenzie sit back down.
Ned: (after a few minutes of silence) �You two are pathetic.�
Mackenzie: (concerned) �Are you mad at us, Ned?�
Ned: (laughing) �No, not at all.� He grins. �You sure picked an interesting place for sex!�
Alexis: �Stefan Cassadine, who would have known that you were such a wild man.�
Stefan: (blushing) �Alexis, don�t even start with me. You�re just as bad.�
Alexis: �So? It�s cheaper than pay-per-view and more interesting than knitting.�
Ned, Mackenzie and Stefan stare at her and then start laughing so hard they�re shaking.
Ned: (laughing hysterically) �That�s my girl! I knew you would become as deranged as me some day!�
Stefan: (laughing) �At least you aren�t so deranged that you have a belly-button ring or a tattoo or something like that.�
Alexis: (exchanging a look with Ned) �Yeah, it�s a good thing, huh?� she starts laughing.
Mackenzie: (shocked) �No way! You have a navel ring?�
Alexis: �No way! My only piercing is my ears, thank you very much.�
Mackenzie: �In that case, Alexis, do you have a tattoo?�
Alexis: (trying to not laugh) �I would never get a tattoo. Just ask Ned. He has seen every inch of my body and he would know.�
Mackenzie: �Ned? Brother dearest? Does your wife have a tattoo somewhere on her body?�
Ned: (straight faced) �You heard her. She doesn�t. Do YOU?�
Mackenzie: (blushing) �No, I don�t, but I used to have a navel ring.�
Stefan: (surprised) �You did? What happened to it?�
Mackenzie: �It closed up.� She grins. �Maybe I�ll get it re-pierced.�
Alexis and Ned start laughing at the shocked look on Stefan�s face.
Mackenzie: �Or not.� She smiles.
Later that morning. The ACBA Offices.
Stefan: (closing the boardroom door) �Are you sure about this, Mrs. Cassadine?�
Mackenzie: �Of course I am.� She grins. �Boardroom tables are definitely multi-purpose.� She smiles. �I�m so proud of you, Stefan. You�re becoming so relaxed.�
Stefan: (laughing) �Don�t get used to it.� He puts his arms around her and holds her for a few minutes. �I love you, Mackenzie.�
Mackenzie: (feeling him becoming aroused) �I love you too, Stefan.� She rubs against him, making him more aroused. �Now let�s get down to business.�
Stefan: (unbuttoning her jacket and pushing it off) �You have such a wonderful body.� He removes her blouse. �You could be a model.�
Mackenzie: (pushing his pants down) �I highly doubt that.� She kisses him again.
Stefan: (caressing her breasts) �Mackenzie Cassadine, supermodel.� He grins as he lifts her onto the table. �And I could be your agent.�
Mackenzie: �You�re even more deluded than I thought.� She pulls him on top of her and kisses his neck. �I think I�ll stick with law.�
Wrapping his arms around her, Stefan quickly enters Mackenzie, causing her to moan.
Mackenzie: �You�re an incredible lover, Stefan. My Greek God.�
Stefan: (sucking on her earlobes) �You�re not so bad yourself.� He grins. �For being part Quartermaine, after all.�
Mackenzie: (laughing) �Bite me. You�re not exactly from a normal family either.� She smirks. �Speaking of crazy families... oh, that feels good.... don�t stop... I... oh... wonder where Ned and Alexis are right now. Or more like where are they doing it right now.�
Stefan: (breathing heavily) �Forget about Ned and Alexis. This is between you and me.� he kisses her passionately.
They continue to make love on the boardroom table, trying to remain silent.
Meanwhile. The ABCA parking garage. Inside Alexis� Mercedes.
Alexis: (underneath Ned, in the drivers� seat, which is reclined back) �Oh God that feels good... keep doing that... right there...�
Ned: (trailing kisses down her collarbone) �If I had known you would act like this in a car, we should have done this a long time ago.�
Alexis: (running her hands down his back) �I love this car even more now.�
Ned: (making love to her) �You are so sexy, Alexis Brinna.�
Alexis: (moaning) �You are amazing.� She moans again. �Totally amazing.�
Ned: (laughing) �You know what? If you weren�t already pregnant, I�m sure you would be by the end of this contest.�
Alexis: (laughing) �I bet I would be too.� She grins. �We are SO bad!�
Ned: (snickering) �Wouldn�t it be funny if Mackenzie got pregnant during this? Like with triplets or something?�
Alexis: �Ned! What do you have against triplets?�
Ned: �You know how vain my sister can be about her appearance. Can you imagine how she would act if she was three times her usual size? She would DIE!�
Alexis: (sucking on his neck) �Forget about Mackenzie and Stefan for now, Ned. You have something more important to do?�
Ned: (teasingly) �And what would that be?�
Alexis: (in a low voice) �Seducing your wife.�
Ned smiles and their lips come together into a passionate kiss that quickly turns into a French kiss as they forget about everything except their passion.
That afternoon. The Port Charles Hotel lobby.
Alexis is standing by the doors when a pair of arms wrap around her waist. She is momentarily surprised, but then relaxes back against Ned.
Ned: (in her ear) �Hey, sexy Lexi.�
Alexis: (laughing) �Why did you want me to meet you here?�
Ned: �Lunch. You know that meal between breakfast and dinner? You game?�
Alexis: (turning around to look at him) �I�m always willing to have lunch with you, Ned, but why do I have a feeling that there is a DEEPER purpose here? Like the fact that Mackenzie and Stefan are ahead of us by one place.�
Ned: (blushing a little) �You know me too well.�
Alexis: �Four and a half years of marriage will do that for you.� She smiles. �So, Mr. Ashton, do you have plans on getting ahead of them?�
Ned: �Yes, and speaking of our friends, look who just walked in.� He points across the room, where Gregory and Monica are coming in, holding hands. �They sure are in love.�
Alexis: �For now.� Ned looks surprised. �What I mean is that don�t you find it a little odd that Alan isn�t doing anything about this?�
Ned: �You have a good point.� He smiles. �But enough about them.� He leans over and kisses her. �Let�s go have a little fun.�
Alexis: �Sweetie, I hate to say this, but the ELQ suite isn�t going to be very interesting.�
Ned: �Who said anything about even leaving this lobby?� he pulls her back behind a huge display of potted palm trees. �Think along the lines of a forest.�
Alexis: (hissing) �A VERY public forest. Are you crazy?�
Ned: (grinning) �Crazy for you.� He slides his hand up her pale blue skirt and gently caresses her through her satin underwear. She moans. He smiles.
Alexis: (rubbing against him) �If we get caught...�
Ned: �I OWN the hotel, Alexis. What am I going to do? Throw myself out?�
Alexis: (moaning as he strokes her breasts) �Good point. And in that case...� she leans forward and kisses him, gently sliding her tongue into his mouth.
Without another word, Alexis unzips Ned�s pants and as he pushes her skirt up, and wraps her legs around his waist as he enters her. They both fight to keep from moaning.
They make love up against the wall of the lobby, hidden by the palm trees.
Twenty minutes later. On their cell phones.
Mackenzie: �Mackenzie Cassadine.�
Stefan: (at the same time) �Stefan Cassadine.�
Ned: �Guess where we are.�
Alexis: �Greetings from the Port Charles Hotel.�
Stefan: �Ned, I hate to tell you this, but a hotel suite doesn�t count.�
Alexis: �Sis, no one said anything about a hotel suite. We�re in the lobby.�
Mackenzie: (incredulous) �You are not!�
Ned: �Yes we are, Stefan! We�re back behind the palm trees if you must know.�
Mackenzie: �Alexis...�
Stefan: �Ned...�
Alexis: �I�ll talk to you later, Sis.�
Ned: �Bye, Stefan.� He turns his phone off as Alexis turns hers off. �Now, Lex, how about lunch?�
Alexis: �Sure.� She grins. �After all, we did just have dessert.� They both start laughing as they head into the PC Grill.
That evening. ELQ offices.
There is a slight knock on Ned�s office door. He looks up and smiles as Alexis enters.
Ned: �You came.�
Alexis: �Of course. I find this quite entertaining.� She smiles. �And very sexy.�
Ned: (going over to her and taking her hand) �Than in that case, Mrs. Ashton, what do you say we get this going?�
Alexis: (suggestively) �Lead the way.�
Ned smiles at her and pulls her out of the office and down the hall to Edward�s. he checks to make sure no one is around, and then opens the door.
Alexis: �He doesn�t lock his office door?�
Ned: �Oh, he does. I came down here and unlocked it about ten minutes ago.�
Alexis: (laughing) �You�re such a pragmatist.�
Ned: (closing the door) �And you are such a sex goddess.� He pushes her suit jacket to the ground and unbuttons her blouse, gently caressing her breasts.
Alexis moans slightly as she unbuttons his pants and pushes them to the ground. She moves closer to him and rubs against him, feeling his desire against her skirt.
Ned: (his breath hot on her ear) �When you do that, my body turns into a five alarm fire.� He pauses as she slips his shirt off. �Burning body and soul.�
Alexis: (moaning as he slips his hands inside her panties and caresses her) �Me too.� She looks deep into his eyes. �Make love to me, Ned.�
Ned: (unzipping her skirt and pushing it off, followed by her panties) �I would love to.�
He lifts her up onto Edward�s oak desk and lays on top of her. He gently enters her, making her shudder in desire.
They roll around on the desk, making passionate love, moaning loudly. Ned rolls them over so that Alexis is on top, and his hands rest on her backside, caressing her gently.
Alexis: (moaning loudly) �Oh, Ned... don�t stop... you feel so good... keep doing that!�
Ned: (kissing her breasts) �You�re amazing, Alexis. You feel so good.�
Alexis kisses him passionately, her tongue seeking his. Her hands slide down his body to rest on his inner thighs. He moans again.
Just then, the door flies open.
Edward: �WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING?�
Ned: (pulling away from Alexis) �What are you doing here?�
Edward: (furious) �This is my office. Not a bed, in case you didn�t notice.�
Alexis: (apologetically) �Edward, we are so...�
Edward: �Oh, save it, you little hussy. How dare you do this in my office!�
Ned: (pulling his pants up) �Don�t you DARE talk to my wife like that!� He buttons his pants and then picks his shirt up. �You have no right...�
Edward: �I have NO RIGHT? I am not the one HAVING SEX on top of my grandfather�s desk, Ned!�
Alexis: (putting her clothes back on, her back to Edward) �Leave him alone, Edward!�
Edward: (not listening) �Ned, this would have never happened if you hadn�t married this Cassadine whore. She has brought nothing but problems to this family. She hasn�t done one good thing for you since you met her.�
Ned: (livid) �She has done way more for me than anyone else has ever done.�
Edward: (crossing his arms) �Oh, and what has ALEXIS given you that your family can�t?�
Ned: �SHE LOVES ME!� there are tears in his eyes. �And she is the ONLY person who has ever loved me. You know that. You only pretend to love, Grandfather. Alexis makes me whole. She is the greatest thing that ever happened to me. NOW LEAVE HER ALONE!�
Alexis: �I�ve heard enough of this.� She takes Ned�s hand. �Let�s go.�
Edward: �But...� he is cut off by the slamming of the door as Ned and Alexis storm out of the office.
Meanwhile. Chez Plaisance.
Stefan and Mackenzie lay on the floor of the vacant coat room. Stefan is on top of Mackenzie, his arms around her.
Mackenzie: (moaning softly) �That feels incredible, Stefan.�
Stefan: (kissing her neck) �This is going to win the contest for us for sure.� He smiles.
They continue to make love, trying to keep from making any noise.
An hour later. A table in the corner of Chez Plaisance.
Ned: �I can�t believe you two didn�t get caught in the coat room!�
Mackenzie: (smiling smugly) �It was a pretty interesting experience.�
Stefan: �Except for the floor being so hard.�
Mackenzie: �Oh shut up, Stefan. I was on the bottom.�
Ned: �That�s more than I needed to know about that, thanks.�
Mackenzie: �So how did you two make out for the last place? You sounded a little funny on the phone.�
Alexis and Ned exchange a look. Neither of them say anything.
Mackenzie: (groaning) �Oh no. Look who just walked in.�
Stefan, Ned and Alexis turn to see Edward, Alan, AJ, Carly and Lila walk in.
Stefan: �Alexis, are you okay? Your face is kind of green. Yours too, Ned.�
Ned: (weakly) �Maybe they don�t see us, Lex.�
Alexis: (as Edward walks towards them) �If only we were so lucky.�
Edward: (standing in front of the table) �Well, well. It�s the sex fiends.�
Ned: �Grandfather, I suggest that you walk away NOW.�
Edward: (to Stefan and Mackenzie) �Did these two tell you that I caught them getting busy on my desk a few hours ago? Can you imagine the nerve?�
Stefan and Mackenzie look shocked and then start laughing. Ned and Alexis look like they are about to die.
Edward: �Ned, I think that we need to have a serious talk tomorrow. Stop by my office.� He smirks. �After housekeeping finishes cleaning it.� He walks away.
Stefan: �You two...�
Edward: (turning around) �By the way, Alexis. Nice tattoo. Whose idea was that?�
Alexis looks ready to die. Stefan and Mackenzie laugh harder.
Mackenzie: (as Edward walks away) �Let me get this straight. You two got CAUGHT by Edward, so you are now OUR SLAVES!�
Stefan: (chortling) �I knew we would win!� he leans over and kisses Mackenzie.
Ned: (pleading) �I�ll give you ten thousand bucks if we don�t have to be your slaves.�
Mackenzie: �Nice try, brother dearest, but a bet�s a bet.�
Stefan: (laughing) �A week of you two waiting on us. I can�t wait!�
Just then, Mackenzie leans over and whispers something in his ear. He starts laughing and then nods.
Stefan: �On second thought, we may be willing to make a deal with you.�
Alexis: �Anything.�
Mackenzie: (leaning forward, in a low voice) �If you show us your tattoo, you only have to wait on us for two days.�
Ned: (exchanging a look with Alexis) �She doesn�t...�
Alexis: (at the same time) �It�s a deal.�
Ned looks shocked. Mackenzie and Stefan start laughing. Alexis just shrugs.
Two hours later. On the way home.
Ned: (stopping at a red light) �Are you serious about this?�
Alexis: �Do you really want to spend a week as their slaves?� she gestures at Stefan and Mackenzie, who are following them home. �I would rather eat tree bark.�
Ned: �But I thought that your tattoo was private... just between us.�
Alexis: (bitterly) �If your grandfather knows, I may as well take a picture of it and put it in the Port Charles Gazette tomorrow morning. Ned, it�s no big deal. We have other intimate secrets.�
Ned: (raising his eyebrows) �Such as?�
Alexis: �Well, no one knows about us in the ball pit at Discovery Zone, and no one EVER will. And no one knows about all the other places we�ve made love. And no knows that you and I prefer boring old missionary style sex.�
Ned: (laughing) �I wouldn�t exactly call it boring.�
Alexis: �That�s not what I meant. I mean that all of our friends think that we�re some kind of nympho couple or something, when in truth, we just like to have nice, normal, albeit sometimes with whipped cream, sex.�
Ned: (laughing) �I love you, Alexis. You truly are my match.�
Alexis: (smiling in the dark car) �I agree. We�re equally deranged.�
Fifteen minutes later. The Ashtons� living room.
Mackenzie, Stefan and Ned are staring at Alexis.
Alexis: (stalling) �Uh, are you sure the girls are in bed, Ned? Maybe I should check.�
Ned: (enjoying her nervousness) �Nope. Emily is putting them to bed.�
Mackenzie: �Come on, Alexis. It�s now or never.�
Stefan: �Unless you really WANT to do our dishes for a week.�
Alexis: (about to scream) �Fine.� She lays down on the couch on her stomach and unzips her skirt to reveal her bare lower back.
Mackenzie: (looking closely at her) �Oh, it�s cute!�
Stefan: (shaking his head) �An ice blue star. How appropriate.� He grins. �When did you get this done?�
Alexis: �Cabo San Lucas. It was my birthday present to Ned.�
Stefan: (to Ned) �You LET her get a tattoo?�
Ned: �No, she did this on her own. I didn�t see it until about eight hours later when she, uh, stripped for me in the hotel room.� He grins at her. She grins back.
Mackenzie: �Alexis, I love it! It�s so small and cute!�
Just then, Emily comes down the stairs and looks at Alexis� lower back.
Emily: �Wow! Cool! You have a tattoo!�
Alexis: (sitting up and rezipping her skirt) �Yeah. I got it in November.�
Emily: �I�ve been thinking about getting a tattoo too.�
Mackenzie: �Really? I�m debating either a tattoo...�
Stefan: �Over my dead body.�
Mackenzie: �Or a navel piercing. I had it done before, but it closed up.�
Emily: �Awesome! Maybe I�ll get one too. You know what, Mackenzie? I love your hair! It�s so cute!�
Stefan and Ned, rolling their eyes, head into the kitchen.
Mackenzie: �Thanks, Emily! Actually, I was thinking about cutting it.�
Alexis: �Is Stefan aware of that?�
Mackenzie: �No, but I say, why do I have to ask him?�
Alexis: �Emily, are you really thinking about getting a navel ring? You too, Mackenzie?�
Mackenzie: �Yeah. I think it would be a lot of fun.� She grins. �Hey, Em, if you are going to get yours done, maybe we should go together.�
Emily: �Oh, that would be so cool.� she smiles. �Could we go tomorrow?�
Mackenzie: �Sure.�
Alexis: �Mackenzie! Don�t you want to think about it?�
Mackenzie: (tilting her head to the side) �Hmm... okay, I�ve thought about it. Is noon okay, Emily? I�ll pick you up here.�
Emily: �Alexis, can I do it?�
Alexis: (laughing) �Sure. It�s not up to me though.� She pauses. �What about your mother?�
Emily: (in a low voice) �As far as I�m concerned, you�re my mother.�
Alexis: (giving her a hug) �Aw, thanks, Sweetie. I feel like you�re my daughter too. And if it�s up to me, I suppose that you can get your belly button pierced.� She grins. �Provided that I can come to watch Mackenzie scream and yell in pain.�
Mackenzie: (laughing) �It�s a deal. I�ll pick you guys up at noon.�
Ned: (coming back in) �What are you guys doing tomorrow?�
Mackenzie: (smoothly) �Aw, just a little shopping.�
Stefan: �Mackenzie, I think we�d better get going.� He grins. �Remember, you two start your life as slaves in two days.�
Mackenzie: �Good night, sis. Good night, Ned, Emily.� She smiles on the way out.
Emily: (as the door shuts) �Slaves? Huh?�
Alexis: �Mackenzie and I will explain it tomorrow.�
Emily: (yawning) �I�m going to go on to bed.� She goes over and hugs Ned first, and then Alexis. �Good night, you guys. I love you.�
Alexis: �We love you too, Emily.�
Ned: (as Emily heads upstairs) �Are you sure that the three of you are just doing a little innocent shopping?�
Alexis: (putting her arms around him) �I plead the fifth.�
Ned: (scooping her into his arms and carrying her up the stairs) �I thought you�d say that.� He walks into their bedroom and lays her down on the bed.
Ned: �You know what I feel like doing?�
Alexis: �I don�t know about you, but I feel like making love.�
Ned: �We�re pathetic. After two days of non-stop sex, we still want to...�
Alexis: �Shut up and kiss me.�
Ned: �Whatever you want, my Princess.�
Alexis pulls him on top of her and they begin to make love, feeling their hearts and souls come together as one.
Ned: (whispering) �I love you, Alexis.�
Alexis: �I love you too, Ned. You�re everything I�ve ever wanted.�
Ned: �You deserve everything you want.� He smiles at her.
Alexis: �I already have everything I could ever want, under this very roof.�
Ned: �To us, always and forever.�
With that, they forget about everything in their lives, except each other and the love between them.
